Forecasts

Jerry From Kerry (4/6), Keep Up (4/1), Lord Ffrench (13/2), Boston Gent (7/1), Eagle's Quest (8/1), Jane Eire (10/1), Truly Elegant (20/1), Kingkong Ciergues (20/1), Good Time Tommy (22/1), Lightup Lightup (25/1), Pavilion End (40/1), Albert Hirsch (40/1), Lo And Behold (100/1), Ben Purple (100/1), Quill Energy (125/1), Golden Order (150/1)

The market should reveal plenty but the vote goes to debutant KEEP UP who catches the eye on paper and represents the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard that have taken this event for the past two years. Gordon Elliott also introduces an interesting sort in Boston Gent and he is next on the list, although promising Cork debut third Lord Ffrench is another who can have a say. Other debutants to consider are Jerry From Kerry and Jane Eire.
